Low-power microelectromechanically tunable silicon photonic ring resonator add-drop filter

Low-power microelectromechanically tunable silicon photonic ring resonator add-drop filter.

We experimentally demonstrate a microelectromechanically (MEMS) tunable photonic ring resonator add-drop filter, fabricated in a simple silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based process. The device uses electrostatic parallel plate actuation to perturb the evanescent field of a silicon waveguide, and achieves a 530 pm resonance wavelength tuning, i.e., more than a fourfold improvement compared to previo...

A New Design for Photonic Crystal Ring Resonator Based Add-Drop Filter Using Nested Rectangular Rings

In this paper using nested Rectangular resonator we have designed an add-drop filter based on photonic crystal structures suitable for optical communication applications. The drop efficiency and the quality factor of our proposed filter is 100% and 2508. In this filter the quality factor is significantly improved with respect to other published reports. The simulation results are obtained using...

Design of a new narrow band channel drop filter based on photonic crystal ring resonator

In this design an optical ring resonator are embedded between two Horizontal input and output waveguides which has 4 orbitals around the center of the resonator so that each orbital consists of 8 rods with different size in which radius of larger orbitals rods are bigger than radius of smaller orbitals rods. The analysis of simulation results showed the proposed filter has the transmission effi...

Tunable Channel Drop Filter using Hexagonal Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators

In this paper, we have proposed a tunable two dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PhC) channel drop filter (CDF) using ring resonators with suitable quality factor (Q) and transmission efficiency; we investigate parameters which have an effect on resonant wavelength in this CDF, such as dielectric constant of inner, coupling, adjacent and whole rods of the structure. Dropping efficiency at the r...
